Hammer Zero Mercy Solid Review

This might oust them all. Get out of here. That's out wider. That's hooking. Oh my god. I did a pin. Holy moly. [laughter] What's up, guys? Brunick's back. It's time to introduce the Hammer Zero Mercy Solid. Now, the Zero Mercy Solid has a brand new super offset core asymmetric with HK22 Cohesion Squared Solid cover.

I can't wait to see what this new Extreme Hook Monster does out on the lanes for me with Spectto running, of course. But before we get to all that, please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. Now, let's see what Zero Mercy Solid does out on the lanes. Very excited to throw this Zero Mercy Solid. First, let's take a look at that crazy core. That new super offset asymmetric higher RG for an asymmetrical ball. 2.524 differential pretty high at 053 with an

intermediate 020. And it's all wrapped with a brand new cover HK22 cohesion squared. What does that mean? I don't know. I'm not a chemist, but to me it's telling me that it's using a whole lot more of that cohesion additive, a higher percentage, whole lot more volatility, and the surface is 500,500. So, super do four color solid bowling on crown jewel pattern. Nothing special here. My normal house shot. YouTube's favorite house shot to comment on. I made it legendary. But 43 ft, not a lot

of oil to the outside, bunch of oil in the middle. So, got Spectto running, of course. So, we're going to start it out, move it in, and we're going to start this review right now. Okay. Yeah. Wild looking ball. This is uh hammer makes some cool looking stuff. But this is going to turn heads. People are going to know what you're throwing. Yeah. Let's do this. What are we expecting from this zone? Better throw it hard and keep it out of the dry, right? That's been kind of the MO.

Oh, right into the dry. Okay, first shot out of the gate, heavy roll. And I think the whole thought process behind Higher RG when they're designing this core is we know the cover is going to be strong. It's dull in surface. You know, it's going to be a little bit overkill playing this far out trying to throw it right to the dry. I think this ball is really going to excel when we move in and get off that get into the oil basically. But we're going to try keep it more and I'm going to keep it more online and try again

because 10pin out of the gate. You know, it's going to use a lot of energy in the front. That's just how a bowling ball like this is going to do it. But for heavy oil or if you're speed dominant, this is a ball you can just throw it as hard as you want. That's what I'm going to do. Better. My goodness. I'll get it lined up eventually. Just got to get my eyes in a little bit more. You know, I knew playing this outside line, it's never really been great for me. Everybody

that's watched the channel, especially on the higher end, dull symmet asymmetrical bowling balls, you know, they don't really have a big option to play there. Now, I could just do what all the YouTuber comments say and just put out a sport pattern. Put out something that's not so 13 to1. Go 4:1. I don't want to. I want to keep it easy for me, but at the same time, when I get close to it, makes it kind of impossible sometimes. But we're going to straighten this out. I'm going to try to get this ball more around like uh gosh, I don't

know, launch angle low. Ah. All right. Got my eyes where I wanted, but striking out there just doesn't seem like it's going to be a matchup. So, as we always do, we're going to move in five boards at a time, get into another zone where I think a ball like this for my game is really going to start excelling. I'm going to need some open angles. This is a ball that you can cheat left with. For your lefties, you can cheat right with. Get in, play through the oil, blend out some

wet dries, and get away from the friction. Throw it to the friction. So, we're moving to 20 now. I won't feel like I have to be pinpoint with it. But the direct line certainly more it hit harder. But let's just give it some room to breathe. Oh, come on. Oh my goodness. See how much more it comes to life. You just give it a little bit more time in the oil and it reserves so much more energy

for down lane. That's how these bowling balls work. If you put it into the friction early, it's going to have a tendency to want to roll forward. That's how big asymmetric bowling balls work. So, delaying a lot of flare. Delaying that hook will give you a whole lot more back end and a lot more hitting power. All right, let's try that again. So far, we're over. We haven't struck yet, but it's coming. This shot. Mark it down.

Son, what a monster. And with all those colors, you really can tell when it's doing its thing, when it gets out of its skid, gets into the roll, and then that whole transition there. Not sure if it's quick to friction yet. It looks pretty sharp off the spot. So, it is a a quick response ball. Uh I don't think it's going to be skid flip just because the cover strength is so strong, it's going to want to dig in. But at the same time, it's all relative. If you throw it hard

and you get around the side of it, yeah, this could be a really skid flip ball if you get in enough oil. Someone that throws it more rev dominant, slower, probably not. Oh, I'm feeling it now. Oh, I'm feeling it now. You trip four pin. That's right. Yeah. All right. This is going to be fun. We're going to keep moving it in and we're going to see how much of a big bowling ball this can be and still hook

down lane continue and trip fours. Hopefully maybe a messenger. I don't think I'll leave an eight pin with this ball just because it's having a tendency to just hook over the eight pin. So saw that last one where I nine pinned and the last few strikes were they weren't stopping. All right, we're in a 25 now. How about now? I don't feel like I've even dropped the speed much.

Nothing hits like a hammer. Yeah. What a what a difference. You get away from the dry, start giving this ball a little bit of oil to work through and look it come to life. That's it. If you're struggling, it doesn't matter if you're in league, tournament, you know, get your feet in the right spot. If you're struggling, you feel like you got this, move to somewhere where you got that. All right, let's throw another shot here. That last shot.

Phenomenal. Let's do it again. That's in. Is it going to hold? My god. Tripping fours again. Two in one video. Who am I? What is this ball? Is this the most hooking ball on the planet? It's got to be, right? I mean, I've reviewed a lot of big hook and bowling balls. But a big hooking asim like this that still has it on the back,

there's not that many of them. There's been some. And I might have to go back and compare some because this might oust them all. Get out of here. That's out wider. That's hooking. Oh my god. I did a pin. Holy moly. Wow. Nick Stradamus in the house. He is wrong. Didn't think I was going to eight

pin. And look at that. I thought that was going to actually go through the face, but it didn't. It went high flush eight pin. Insane. All right. Well, that was a nice send off from that zone. We'll get into 30 now. We'll really start opening up the angles and seeing if this ball has any quit in it whatsoever. And I'm really proud of myself. I don't think I've called it the No Mercy at all so far because when we've been developing this ball, I remember the No Mercy from a long time ago. 20 years

probably about roughly. Anyway, I kept calling it No Mercy and I haven't done it once. So, Zero Mercy, that's wide. Okay, send it out wide. Wrap 10. I do think this ball is going to strive in oil. I do. It did get back. get hit pretty hard, but I knew it was wide. And the tendencies of these kind of bowling balls are always going to be to use all that friction in the front and the mids

and then not leave as much for the back end. So, if I want to get this ball through the pins, have to get my eyes in, get my target more around 67 at the break. It seems to be sweet spot for me. but also where it crosses the arrows. If I get it out too early to 67, then I'm also equally in trouble. There you go. Yeah, almost nine pin again. Yeah, what a strong rolling ball. And you can see that just how it kind of went through

the pins cuz it still had its axis rotation a lot longer. Played it more in the oil. That was probably even inside of 67 if I had to guess. But it doesn't take much. The difference between a wrap 10 and stone flush is just getting your eyes in a little bit, right? Especially with this dull, beautiful new zero mercy solid with cohesion squared. One more shot here.

That's in even more. Starting to feel like Adam Barta right now. I tell you what, as far as onehanders go, I've seen a lot of bowlers in my day, and I don't think anybody's bowling ball hits the pins harder than Adam Barta, period. He throws 16. I'm pretty sure he still throws 16. And that's part of it. But there's something about his ball roll, and I'm sure he's going to love this ball and probably shoot 850 the first night of league when he goes live. That's just how he does it. All right, let's move 35. But his ball, I

was having flashbacks where my ball just hit and that was like a mini Barta. All right, this is the test. A+. That was choice. Zero Mercy Solid has no problem opening up angles and closing the bow. It's easy for you to go away from the pocket, but can it close the bow and get back through and get through the pins? That's always what we look at and spec numbers going to gonna also

show that information. Pin deck exit board. Where did the ball finish through the pins? It's important. And if you're not watching where your ball is actually finishing, you're not seeing all of your ball performance. You're not seeing your ball reaction because that's where it uh tells you everything you need to know. Oh, grabby, grabby, grabby. It's going to be hard to find a zone after this once we throw our final shot in this zone because pretty

much from I would say 25 is really when it started being superb. 20 was okay, but all these zones further in, this ball is feeling pretty good. Got one more shot here in this zone. Let's uh I don't know. Should we send it? Should we give this like full hook and see? Yeah, let's do that. I haven't done that in a while. I guess it's a big hook and bowling ball. So, let's uh send it to the gutter as far we can.

It got there. It looked like two board, three boards, somewhere in there. All right. Well, we got on a pretty wild ride with the Zero Mercy Solid. We got to choose a zone now. I mean, I don't know. It's hard to pick sometimes because when the ball looks good from all different angles, I can go 25, 30, 35. They all look pretty good. Let's go to 25. 30 was good, too, but let's just go 25. And then uh just keeping the uh the ball in the oil longer. That's been kind of the key for this uh review, I think.

Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. Rude. I think we'll end on that note. Anything that kind of ends like that, I think we can keep that because uh I mean I've eight pinned I've tripped four a bunch of times and now I hit the 9 and 1/2 pin. So or 9 and 3/4 could be a Harry Potter thing. Well, I hope you learned quite a bit about the zero mercy solid in all its glory. Brand new core, brand new cover stock, cohesion squared,

solid, insane bowling ball, new core, rolls great. Well, that's all for me. Please check out the merch on Inside Bowling. Check out the crew. Memberships are available to you.
